"What the hell happened to Christianity?"

Jay Bakker and Marc Brown's (irreverent) take on what has happened to modern Christianity:

What the hell happened? Where did we go wrong? How was Christianity co-opted by a political party?Why are Christians supporting laws that force others to live by their standards? The answers to these questions areintegral to the survival of Christianity.

His parables and lessons were focused on love and forgiveness, a message of "come as you are, not as you should be." The bulk of his time was spent preaching about helping the poor and those who are unable to help themselves. At the very least, Christians should be counted on to lend a helping hand to the poor and others in need.

This brings us to the big issues of American Christianity: Abortion and gay marriage. These two highly debatable topics will not be going away anytime soon. Obviously, the discussion centers around whether they are right or wrong, but is the screaming really necessary? After years of witnessing the dark side of religion, Marc and I think not. (CNN)
